With 15 square feet and 600 watts of (HPS?) light, that's not a huge of light. But people have used even less light per square foot and had a relatively successful harvest, so you should be fine, especially if they're indicas (or nearly so). You will undoubtedly benefit from using that "wattage boost" setting on your ballast. Hopefully, the shape of the lighting footprint produced by your light's reflector matches the shape of your garden space relatively well, meaning that you won't end up with two dim sides and the walls of the other two sides getting hit with light that would be better to hit the plants directly instead of having to be reflected onto them. IF you can comfortably afford the stuff, Orca Film is better at reflecting light than any grow tent material I've seen. It's not exactly cheap, but it'll increase the percentage of the light - that you're already paying to produce each month - that actually reaches your plants. It's not exactly a game-changer, it's more along the lines of that setting on your ballast (which probably boosts the wattage of your 600-watt bulb by 10% or so). Sort of like giving your vehicle's engine a tune-up, as opposed to bolting on a turbocharger, lol. So don't sweat it if you cannot comfortably afford it. If you do end up adding it, try to install it in such a way that it's straight instead of being wavy. I used to think of it as being "merely" comparable to the brightest white paint (which, IMHO, is better than the silver mylar grow tent material, albeit a little more involved). Then, one day, I happened to stumble upon a YouTube video in which someone set up a PAR meter sensor in the middle of their grow tent floor - and then continued to film while they hung a sheet of Orca Film on one tent wall, then a second, then a third, and then the fourth. The readings kept climbing, and climbing, and... I've always been a fan of getting to make better use of a thing that a person already has, especially if that something incurs a cost for electricity each and every month. Again, though, if you have better things to spend your money on, go for it. It's not like the product would save your plants or increase your safety (like, for example, purchasing decent nutrients, or buying a good quality carbon filter exhaust setup could).

Pictures of plants in your journal will probably increase the number of people following it and, thereby, increase the pairs of eyes who can potentially help you spot an issue and/or assist with the solving of.

Good luck with your garden!

Fed them today 3l each coco seems like hard work drys out super quick and was lsted lastnight

 

[HappyHazmat88]

Did a quick search for ya but this looks to be an under watering issue....which is fairly similar to what your photos show. Like I stated I'm unfamiliar but I'll help if I can.

 

[Cnickson21]

Yes I hear tht should be giving more than an as there bigger have gave them 6l each today and started run off in tent lol x

 

[HappyHazmat88]

Yup that's what I read to is that they need water just about everyday ...no dry needed....with food every feed since coco doesn't retain nutes like soil.... I'm a soil grower but I like to stay informed on growing methods

 

[Cnickson21]

Does it grow the same in soil then mate

 

[Cnickson21]

This is the size of tent I have 2plants fill it seen over crowded

 

[HappyHazmat88]

Soil is water with nutes til run off....then let dry...dry...dry... Then water no nutes maybe cal-mag suppliment....dry dry dry...by this point it's been a week and you can feed again... So it's different. But the plant will show similar signs regardless of what medium. Hunger is hunger...burn is burn..etc.

I'm not a coco guy either but I do know that coco is drain to waste (always runoff) and never let it get really dry. And unlike soil, the nutes for coco should be pH'd to around 5.8 before using.

Hey Happy hope you are well my friend.
As Shed stated coco must be watered every day at 5.8 exactly.
Full strength nutrients every time until you get run off.
Are you using cal mag?
You must put cal mag in your plain water first, every time.
Mix well let sit for 15 minutes.
Then add micro, grow, bloom in that order.
Then last thing is set ph before feeding to 5.8.
Do that and you will be fine.
If you need me I'm always around.

Stay safe
Bill

Hi bill atm no only on canna a n b need to buy boost I'm thinking and pk1415 and maybe some bloodbud not sure need it urgently tho x

 

[Bill284]

Hi bill atm no only on canna a n b need to buy boost I'm thinking and pk1415 and maybe some bloodbud not sure need it urgently tho x

Canna A&B are good , but there are lots of extras we use.
Get some potassium silicate and cal mag asap.
Then you can add extras as you get them.

Stay safe
Bill

 

[Cnickson21]

Thanks bill cal mag and silicate will sort
